More and more files are stored in your Android phone as now smart phones have larger and larger internal storage. It becomes a little complex if you want to save some files from the computer to your Android or transfer from your Android to your computer.

1. To Transfer Files on Android by Bluetooth
As transferring files on Android by Bluetooth is the most traditionalist way, most Android users choose it. Below are pros and cons about using Bluetooth to transfer files.
Pros: As we all know, it is the most common way for us to transfer files. Before transferring, our phone needs to be matched. It depends on the distance. So long as your distance is not too large, you can transfer most apps to your phone.
Cons: The transferring speed of Bluetooth is limited so it may be replaced by other transferring speed one day.

2. To Transfer Files on Android Through Wi-Fi
Another common transferring method is to transfer with Wi-Fi. Usually, once the phone and your PC are connecting to the same Wi-Fi, you can send files between them. Android itself doesn't support to sync the files between phone and PC with Wi-Fi. So, what you need is to use a third-party tool to help you. Wi-Fi transfers faster than Bluetooth does. If you want to transfer more than one file, Wi-Fi would be a better choice.

3. To Save Files on Android Through Cloud Transfer

Cons: If, there's no Wi-Fi to use, it will waste you a lot of traffic. Also, the storage room of the cloud transferring is also limited.

4. Save Files via NFC
NFC works perfectly on Android phones, especially that on Android 4.0. Ever since Android Beam has come out to us, it strengthens the function of NFC. Nowadays, NFC can only transfer files from phones to phones. If you want to transfer files between phones, what you need is to place the two phones together.
